A new study using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope has shown that not all globular clusters evolve at the same rate. While all globular clusters are old (over 10 billion years), the stellar distribution within some remains youthful, with the blue straggler stars spread throughout the cluster. ...

... The analysis shows, that asteroid ­ rubble pile loses its fast fragments in no time but the retaining fragments forms a compact structure immersed in dust ­ gas atmosphere, created by interaction of interplanetary medium with dispersed product of collisional evolution of asteroid. By interaction of an asteroid ­ rubble pile with interplanetary medium structures asteroid can increase its brightness on account of blowed up dust simulating phenomenon of distant comet's brightening. ...
